Description

The Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang DP switched socket combines a matt black screwless faceplate with a contrasting chrome rocker switch and black insert. The dual-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances or installations where the socket may be left on for extended periods.

Designed for residential, hospitality and office installations, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses a screwless cover plate that clips onto a separate metal sub-frame. This removes visible screws or fixings from the wall face, giving a cleaner finish than traditional screw-fixed plates. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 2,990W per outlet.

The matt black finish on the SPCC steel plate provides a low-reflectance surface that pairs with contemporary, industrial and modern minimalist interiors. The chrome rocker offers a defined visual contrast against the black plate, making the switch position immediately visible. The socket includes twin earth terminals for additional earthing continuity and carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty, making it suited to permanent installations where long-term reliability matters.

Frequently Asked

What back box depth is required?

A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The screwless cover plate adds approximately 9.4mm of projection from the wall once fitted, giving a total depth of 31.7mm from the back of the mounting box to the front of the plate.

Is the screwless plate removable for redecorating?

Yes. The matt black cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed for painting around the socket and re-clipped without re-wiring or disturbing the electrical connections.

What does dual-pole switching mean?

Dual-pole (DP) switching isolates both the live and neutral conductors when the socket is switched off, rather than just the live conductor in single-pole switches. This provides additional safety for appliances that may have live components on the neutral side, or for installations where the socket may be left switched on permanently.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces this socket style in a range of finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or category filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
